Post THE NINE HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVENTH, In Which I am Relentlessly Clever

   Vocab fun: insular means relating to island. Use it in a sentence, eh? Okay, then.To apply this to an old phrase: "No man is insular." Get it? No man is an island.

   It would be funny, that sentence weren't actually true. Insular also means removed physically or emotionally from others, or limited in outlook. Which actually describes a lot of men. In fact, yep, sums up the very idea of masculinity.

   To apply this to a different old phrase, then, I guess. Many are insular, but few are an island.
